In Maui, Hawaii, surfer Clay Marzo is the subject of a new documentary called Clay Marzo: Just Add Water. It debuted at the Castle Theater at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center tonight.
He learned to surf at age 3. He won his first National Scholastic Surfing Association national title when he was 10. He has traveled the world and surfed at age 16.
Last December, Clay was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. He felt relieved when he got that because it explained why he was uncomfortable around people. Surfing is his deep interest. He is at home in the water.
Money earned from the documentary will benefit Surfer's Healing, a program where autistic children and their families can experience surfing.
